Hispanic Population In The United States

In 2010, sixteen percent or 50.5 million people of the United States were Hispanic. But in 2000 there were only 35.3 million Hispanics in the United States so that’s a 15.2 million increase from 2000 to 2010. The Hispanic population grew by forty three percent in ten years. At this rate, I think the Hispanic population will be the main ethnic group of the United States.

To begin with, Mexicans were the largest group in the Spanish population. They also had the largest population growth from 2000 to 2010 the population grew from 20 million to 31 million. Cubans increased from 1.2 million to 1.8 million people in 10 years. Puerto Ricans increased from 3.4 million to 4.6 million people. The other Hispanic population grew from 10 million to 12.3 million people. 35.6 percent of the Hispanics who are in the United States were born in another country.

Additionally, the Hispanic population mostly grew in the south and mid-western areas of the United States.

Over the ten years (2000-2010) the population grew to 57 percent in the south. But in the Midwestern, the population grew to 49 percent. Even though it took more time for the population to grow for the Hispanics than the south and Midwest, in the west the Spanish population grew to 34 percent. In the northeast the Hispanic population increased by 33 percent. California has the largest Hispanic population with 14 million people. Texas was the second state with 9.5 million people and Florida was the third state with 4.2 million people in 2010. The state with the highest percentage of Hispanics is New Mexico and the percent is

47.3.

Furthermore, the non-Hispanic white people are not the main race anymore. Hispanics, Asians, African American and other different races make 50.4 percent of the United States. Since a lot of Latin Americans immigrated to the United States the number of Hispanics have gone up and the number of white people went down. That’s when the United States became a multi-ethnic country and Hispanics were the main group.
There is a two percent increased from 2012 to 2013 of Hispanics in the U.S., which means that 18 percent of the United States are Hispanic. The estimated population of Hispanics in 2060 are 128.8 million people. The Hispanic people will take over 31 percent on the nation. The United States is the second country in the world to have the most Hispanic people. The first country with the most Hispanics is Mexico. In 2012-2013 1.3 million Hispanics came to the U.S., in 2013 the United States census said that 55 percent of Hispanics live in California, Texas and Florida. Los Angeles County has the most Hispanics in one county in the U.S. but the Miami Dade County has the most Hispanic people increase in one year than any other county.
To sum it all up the Hispanics are probably going to take over the United States one day. The growth of the Hispanic population will influence the United States because it is going to make non Spanish speakers learn Spanish. That means that most people will be able to speak two different languages or, the whole country will speak Spanish and not English. there will be more of a Hispanic culture in the U.S. than before.
